Hame

0/5 ( ratings)

Sid Chaplin was an acclaimed author of novels, essays and short stories, one of the finest writers working in the North in the 20th century. The son of a miner who became a pitman himself, his early work brilliantly and tenderly chronicled the mining life he observed around him, in the villages in which he grew up by the River Wear in County Durham.

To mark the centenary of his birth in 1916, this new collection of stories, essays and poems features the very best of this work, with essays and commentary by his son Michael Chaplin tracing his father's early life and the villages which meant so much to his father.

An affectionate evocation of landscape, people and place, Hame captures the culture which created the modern North-East but which is now lost forever.

PLEASE NOTE: this ebook is a text companion to the print edition of Hame, which includes colour photography by Karen Atkinson and hand-drawn maps by Birtley Aris. These images are available for ebook purchasers to view online at http://mayfly.press/mayfly-press/sid-...
